Not there is a pressure social to the respect or is has produced the cooperation and the action institutional coordinated required in the joint of the State. Frequently, reminds the Council, through the TDT is broadcast channels that emit via satellite on which is competent the Government central.

La invasi n de frecuencias libres resulta f cil y poco costoso, y se produce con el fin de emitir contenidos con los que se consiguen importantes y r pidos beneficios econ micos, como es el caso de los programas de esoterismo y paraciencias. En este sentido, advierte de la dimensi n y naturaleza que representa este problema para todas las comunidades aut nomas y que, insiste, exige cooperaci n y coordinaci n institucional en todo el Estado. El Consejo ha remitido este informe para su conocimiento a la Comisi n Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC), el regulador de mbito nacional.
